The church has transformed the site of a former steel manufacturing facility at 9 Corporation Avenue, Robin Hill into a modern, multi-purpose venue fit for a number of events.
Pastor Caleb Dwyer, who runs the church with his wife Renee, said the new location will fulfill their vision of providing a permanent home for the church's community.
"Generocity Church has been in Bathurst for three years now, and the new venue will provide a central hub for our burgeoning community," Mr Dwyer said.
"We adopt a more contemporary style towards religion in order to provide a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere for people."
Generocity Church has sites in 11 locations across NSW and in Bathurst, around 120 people consider the church their main place of worship.
Mr Dwyer is looking to promote the church as more than a simple place of worship.
"The church will feature a cafe designed to provide employment opportunities for people with a disability," he said.
"We want to celebrate what people with a disability have to offer to the community by showcasing their skills in the workplace.
"In addition, the church runs a number of programs throughout the week to aid preschool children in their cognitive development."
Prior to their new facility at Robin Hill, Generocity Church was running services at the South Bathurst Public School hall.
Mr Dwyer hopes the new venue will help grow the appeal of the church in the Bathurst community.
"We want to be a culturally accessible church that serves as a blessing for anyone we come across," he said.
"Our church is open to anyone, whether you're a person of faith or not."
The launch event for Generocity Church's new facility will get under way from 10am.
